It's easy to make these maple bacon Brussels sprouts with simple ingredients. Here's what you'll need:
· Brussels sprouts: Start with a pound of whole, clean, and trimmed Brussels sprouts.
· Bacon: Use smoked bacon or regular bacon. Roast the bacon pieces with the sprouts until they're perfectly crispy.
· Seasonings: These Brussels sprouts with bacon are simply seasoned with just salt and pepper.
· Oil: Olive oil keeps the sprouts moist and gives the seasonings something to adhere to.
· Maple syrup: Pure maple syrup adds sweet flavor to the otherwise savory side dish. It's the perfect way to round out the other ingredients.
Allow the Brussels sprouts to cool completely. Transfer them to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat in the microwave or in the oven.
